Come and Join Kingston Choral Society!

As the Christmas holidays end, it’s time to try something new.  What better than joining a local choir? Kingston Choral Society first rehearsal of the new year is at 8pm on Thursday 4^th January 2024 –  at our rehearsal venue, The Hollyfield School Surbiton. It’s easily accessible by bus and car, and less than 5 minutes walk from Surbiton Station.  We’re always looking for new members, especially tenor and bass voices. 

Singing together is a brilliant tonic for physical and mental health.  If you think that choral singing is not for you, think again. It rapidly becomes addictive.  Our 100+ members include men and women of all ages from 20 to nearly 90. Some are lifelong singers, while others decided to give it a whirl with no previous experience. We’re a sociable bunch, organising pub visits, walks and quizzes. A recent joiner described her first evening singing with us as “Friendly, fun, & really exhilarating!”

KCS is beyond blessed to work with two of the finest musicians of their generation:  rising star Andrew Griffiths our Musical Director, supported by sought-after accompanist Gavin Roberts

On 4 January we start rehearsing for our next concert on March 16th.  This will be the welcome return to Kingston of dramatic showstopper – Mendelssohn’s magnificent Elijah – and the season finale on June 22nd is a celebration of the stunning music of Henry Purcell.

We will also be holding a Come & Sing :Poulenc Gloria on Thursday 21^st March 2024 – absolutely everyone is welcome to come along and enjoy a special evening of singing and cake!

To be part of it, come along and give us a try. For more information, check out Kingstonchoralsociety.org.uk/kcs/
